Greece – Santorini’s wildlife

This part of Santorini is in the middle of the island facing the volcano. I would say it’s the main tourist spot on Santorini.
You see the little donkey on the map – it’s there for a reason.
Donkeys maintain this beautiful island and more likely than not – built it.

The people here work hard this time of year getting everything sparkly white and blue for the influx of tourists on their way.

They’re strong, protective, independent and I will go one further, cute, darned cute.
How else would one get bags of cement through these skinny walkways?

There are no shortage of tiny, hilltop, picturesque walkways here. Downhill and the dreaded – uphill climbs are plentiful!

Let’s switch things up. This here is one of the many roaming dogs of Santorini.
He appears to be supervising this site.

We would see these two guys all over Thira.

We called them Taco and Nacho.Taco and Nacho are best friends.

We watched them making friends everywhere they went.

If I said it once I’ve said it a hundred times during our Greek travels; the dogs of Greece are the happiest dogs I’ve ever seen in my life.
No one owns them. They roam freely.
Nap in the sunshine.
